Chapter 7:

Morning came, and Koga was more anxious than before.

He walked over to where Kagome lay awake. "Wake up Kagome! I know you've been pretending to be asleep all night! So get up!"

Kagome figured that she sould get up. Who knew what Koga would do to her if she didn't. But when Kagome got up, what she saw, she couldn't believe.

All the wolf demons in Koga's clan had made a circle around her. They were circling her, and drooling everywhere. They all looked like they had gotten rabies or something like that. Then Koga stepped forward.

"Leave us! NOW!" Koga yelled, and the wolf demons scattered. They were gone in seconds. But Kagome never took her eyes off of Koga. Not even for a second.

"You know, Kagome..." Koga started. "It didn't have to come to this. I could have been my normal gentle self. But, no. You just had to go and think about that mutt, Inutrasha!"

"Koga! He isn't the reason!" Kagome protested. Well, he was part of the reason. Kagome thought.

"No need to lie Kagome! I know it was because of Dog-Turd!" Koga said. "But that doesn't matter now. The old kind and caring Koga is gone! All there is, is what you see before you. And I have no regrets about what I am about to do." Koga said as he started to walk towards Kagome.

Kagome started to back away, slowly. But soon hit the wall of the cave, and Koga was getting closer.

"Koga! You've gotta snap out of it!" Kagome yelled as tears started to form in her eyes. "I know you're in there! Now please! Stop it!"

"Kagome, I already told you. The Koga you knew is gone." Koga replied.

"No he's not! I know he's in there!" Kagome yelled.

"KAGOME!!!" Someone yelled. And at that same moment, Koga was on the ground with a bleedind face.

Inuyasha was now standing in front of Kagome.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled with joy. "You came!"

"I thought I got rid of you earlier mutt!" Koga yelled. "All well, better late than never." Koga stated as he attacked Inuyasha.

"Hey Koga!" Sango yelled. Then Sango's large boomerang hit Koga on the stomach. Then Miroku ran up to Koga and knocked him out with his staff.

"Sango! Miroku!" Kagome screamed with joy as she went to give them all a hug. "Thankyou." Kagome almost whispered. Then she turned to Inuyasha and ran to him. She kissed him. And Inuyasha returned the kiss. It was a short kiss, but it meant more than anything to Inuyasha and Kagome. "Thankyou Inuyasha, for getting here." Kagome cried into Inuyasha's kimono. "If you hadn't come, I don't know what I would do!" Kagome continued to cry.

"It's OK Kagome. I'm here now. You're safe." Inuyasha replied.

And Kagome did feel safe. Safer than ever, especially since she was in Inuyasha's arms.

"Well, it's about time." Sango said. "I didn't think you guys would ever get it over with."

"What are you talking about, Sango?" Kagome asked.

"Come on Kagome. Sango and I have known for a long time now that you and Inuyasha were in love. You just never would show each other." Miroku replied for Sango.

"Was it that obvious?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yup." Sango replied. And Inuyasha and Kagome both blushed.

"Now what are we going to do with Koga?" Miroku asked.

"All we can do is leave him here and hope that he won't wake up for the rest of the day." Inuyasha replied. "And Kagome, you should probably go back home. Just until sunrise tommorrow. I'll come get you when it's safe."

Kagome just nodded, and the gang left. But was Kagome really safe from Koga???
